hi! how are you? dont worry, ok so this is what I got. 1) I did run the command to restart xscreensaver but then the terminal gave a message saying that I did not have xscreensaver installed (weird because then from where did this error come from) 2) then I installed xscreensaver and it said that I had gnome screensaver (probably the source of the problem?) installed and that it had to be turned off, so I agreed. 3) I run the command to create the log file for xscreensaver 4) Tried to reproduce the problem with xscreensaver by selecting the "bad" screensavers and they appear to be installed(they are in bold letters unlike the "not-installed" ones that are in grey letters) but nothing comes on the preview window, it reads "no preview available". 5) I clicked the "preview" button and the screen went black and I could see the mouse... I had to force-shut down the computer to get out of there.
-- now I have two "screensaver" buttons under system>preferences Other thoughts: is there a similar script but for gnome screensaver? thank you also for your time and for helping this awesome OS ;) best regards ** Attachment added: "xscreensaver-log.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44085342/xscreensaver-log.txt -- hypertorus crashed with SIGSEGV in XF86DRIQueryVersion() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
